Publication Ethics

The Indonesian Actuarial Journal is committed to the integrity of the scholarly record. Its editorial policies follow the Principles of Transparency and Best Practice in Scholarly Publishing issued by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), and the journal applies COPE guidance and flowcharts in handling ethical concerns.

These responsibilities apply to authors, reviewers, the editorial team, and the publisher alike. The policies that give effect to them are set out in full on the following pages.

Responsibilities

Authors must ensure that their work is original, that all sources are properly cited, that the data and results presented are genuine, and that everyone listed as an author meets the journal's authorship criteria. All six author declarations must be completed at submission.

Reviewers must treat manuscripts as confidential, declare conflicts of interest, provide substantive and constructive assessment, and refrain from using artificial intelligence in the review process.

Editors decide on scholarly merit alone, free from improper influence by the publisher, sponsors, or commercial interests. An editor with a conflict of interest in a manuscript takes no part in handling it.

Raising a concern

Anyone who believes that these policies have not been followed should write to the editorial office at editorial.iaj@aktuaris.or.id. Concerns are examined on their merits, and the parties involved are given an opportunity to respond before any decision is taken.
